Though they definitely scare me, I don’t have a huge problem with spiders.

However, that doesn’t mean that you’ll see me trying to touch or hold them anytime soon. Okay, I’ve actually held a tarantula once, but the experience was so nerve-racking that I would never consider having one of my own. One woman in Brisbane, Australia, though, couldn’t disagree with me more.

Not only does Lisa van Kula Donovan love spiders (and basically all other insects), but she keeps five of them as her beloved pets.

When she moved to Australia about eight years ago, she fell in love with all the spiders and insects she discovered there. It became such a huge passion that she decided to share her home with some of them.
